Dallah Hospital Al Arid Riyadh

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

This 350-bed facility will expand and enhance Dallah Health’s network to 1,500 beds operating across four hospitals in Riyadh. The 106,000 sm healthcare campus is located at the roundabout of Abu Bakr As Siddiq Road and Prince Saud Ibn Abdulah Jalawi Road in the rapidly growing district of Al Arid. Through Perkins Eastman’s innovative design, this community hospital provides diagnostic and treatment services including ORs, specialty procedure rooms, emergency department, imaging, and physiotherapy specialties.

To accommodate patients, their families, and hospital staff, Perkins Eastman’s design of the campus includes housing for nurses and on-call staff. Additionally, to accommodate the cultural needs of the patients and staff, Perkins Eastman has incorporated prayer rooms into the design of the hospital and clinics. There are separate waiting rooms for men and women as well as separate emergency rooms for men, women, OB/GYN, and children.

The overall design suggests multiple buildings with a unifying seven-story façade for both the inpatient hospital and outpatient clinics. Glass-clade bridges with the super graphic of the Dallah Hospital logo thread through the individual buildings. A continuous roof and parapet further connects each of the buildings into a cohesive expression of the Dallah Health brand in this rapidly growing northern suburb. The carefully crafted layout of the buildings creates five unique courtyards for patients, families and staff to enjoy.
